'Outreach' is nothing but a cold and calculated lie ...

The HCNC Subdivision Committee Conducted Zero Outreach

Despite the fact that the 'Plan' that governs the formation of a neighborhood council requires that outreach be undertaken in order to "reflect the broadest array of Community Stakeholders who will actively participate in the proposed Neighborhood Council", the simple fact is that the HCNC subdivision committee undertook zero outreach anywhere but in Chinatown in its ill-conceived and fraudulent effort to concentrate political power in Chinatown at the expense of the surrounding residential neighborhood caucuses, including Victor Heights, El Pueblo, and Solano Canyon.  Little Tokyo and the Arts District will simply be cast adrift if the subdivision proposal passes.

Exactly two town halls were held — two

A total of two town halls were held during this so-called outreach process.  The first one was held 02 May 2018 at Maryknoll Japanese Catholic Center at 222 Hewitt Street on Los Angeles.  Three people attended this meeting.  Two of the three attendees were Angelica Lopez Moyes, the perpetrator of the fraudulent subdivision application, and Phyllis Ling, a co-conspirator of Ms. Moyes and recent Solano Canyon representative on the HCNC board (Ms. Ling, however, does not live in historic Solano Canyon; rather, she lives on Savoy Street, which aligns itself with Chinatown).  The third person at this meeting was someone who attended so that attendance numbers could be determined.  In any case, there was no sign-in sheet for attendees, as required by the Plan.  This failure of process was confirmed by DONE as the result of a California Public Records Act request.

The second town hall was held 23 May 2018 at Castellar Elementary School in Chinatown.  There was no sign-in sheet for this meeting, either.  There were perhaps twelve attendees at this second meeting, again including Ms. Moyes and Ms. Ling.

Do two town halls attended by a total of 11 non-involved people constitute the required outreach effort to reach "the broadest array of community stakeholders"?

Of course it doesn't constitute outreach — not even to the slightest extent.  No outreach of any kind was ever conducted in Victor Heights, El Pueblo, or Solano Canyon, let alone the Arts District or Little Tokyo.  It's time we stop dignifying the HCNC subdivision application by any name other than what it is:

The HCNC subdivision application is a FRAUD

The entire HCNC subdivision application is a fraud; Angelica Lopez Moyes is a fraud (and a cheat; you can read a third-party characterization of her bizarre behavior here); her recent co-conspirator, Phyllis Ling, is a gullible but apparently willing foot-soldier of Ms. Moyes, and by association, therefore, is a fraud; and Mike Fong, of DONE, who colluded with Ms. Moyes to push through the subdivision application from the beginning, is a fraud.

But here is the scary part

The election to certify this fraud is scheduled to be held Thursday, 07 June 2018.  If only ten people vote 'Yes' in this election and that is a majority of the total votes cast, then the subdivision will pass.

There is evidence that Don Toy, a resident of Chinatown, has organized a group of more than 200 of his loyal followers in preparation of the upcoming election.  How has he instructed them to vote?

What can one do to stop this fraud?

The answer is simple:  'VOTE'.  Vote 'NO' in greater numbers than there are 'YES' votes.

If you love Solano Canyon as I do and want to protect it from a political power-grab by Chinatown, then talk with your friends and neighbors and get them to vote 'NO' on June 7th.
